Oil pan.

[MuddFlapp]

I have discovered a leak at the back corner of my oil pan. My question is, can the pan be removed from the bottom with extraordinary measures?
Thanks

Let me rephrase, can I get a new gasket in there without jacking up the engine?

I have no direct experience with the process, but from what I have read, you need to loosen the engine mounts (only loosen, not remove) and also have an engine hoist capable of lifting the Cummins as high as it can with out hitting the firewall.
At that position the oil pan can be slid out from under the cross member but you still want to be careful not to loosen or bend the oil pickup tube on the way in or out.

On my ‘06, to get the pan out, I had to pull both bolts out of the mounts. I had to jack the motor pretty high up to get it out. There were others things I had to remove or loosen also, but can’t remember exactly what they were. I know the transmission mount had to be loosened.
